31 DUI arrests in Stanislaus County over Memorial Day weekend

Thirty-one people were arrested in Stanislaus County over Memorial Day weekend on suspicion of driving under the influence, including a man who fled the scene of an accident.

The arrests were made by officers from 12 county law enforcement agencies from 12:01 a.m. Friday to midnight Sunday. Last year, 26 people were arrested in that same period, said Ceres police Sgt. Chris Perry, who oversees the Avoid the 12 DUI task force.

One of the DUI suspects arrested Sunday night fled the scene of a minor-injury accident in Modesto, police said.

Daniel Meda, 29, was traveling west on Yosemite Boulevard about 10:30 p.m. when he ran the red light at Claus Road and hit another car, Perry said.
